You know, I thought of something for a moment ( since it's the "food" thread)))
The word "икра" in Russian means not only caviar as in "red" and "black," but actually a cooked ( and mixed with other vegetables and roasted garlic) eggplant is identified with the same word.
There was this old comedy back in the day with the famous scene, where the guy basically disregards black and red caviar and salivates over that "exotic" caviar lol)))
And Shōchū(焼酎?) is a Japanese distilled beverage less than 45% alcohol by volume. It is typically distilled from rice (kome), barley (mugi), sweet potatoes (imo), buckwheat (soba), or brown sugar (kokutō), though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as chestnut, sesame seeds, potatoes or even carrots.

These days many people drink wine with Sushi as well.
I don't drink alcohol anymore in general. I had too much alcohol before

Well, exactly, I love mashed potatoes but not plain. Whith rice it's GOOD. OK, OK, I'm out with my strange mixtures...
DJ, you'll be pleased to know that ALL the hi-brow restaurants in the UK call it "pommes puree"!
I love it too, but not with rice in. Needs to be mashed (almost whipped) until super-smooth, with milk and a little cream. The perfect finish is a little truffle oil drizzled over.
Perfect with a crispy-skin fried piece of sea bass and petit pois cooked en papillote with butter, thyme and a splash of vin blanc.
They're tomates farcies. My mother used to do that a lot before, I don't like the tomatoes but I love the farce in it.... because there's rice.

Hi-brow, I guess it means pricey, stuffy restaurants for the rich and the elite... ? So, pomme puree... well, pleased, I don't know, but they do what they want, hein. Weird still.

Not with rice you said.
Oh, you like your mashed potatoes that smooth ? ... the less smooth it is the better for me.
No oil whatsover on my beloved mashed potatoes, not even on pastas.
Woa, I got all fancy with my colors, hope you can read it lol.

Sake is rice WINE?
What do you know, and I always thought that it was yet another kind of vodka. Vodka made from grain, from potatoes, and this one - from rice))) Whoever has whatever handy, makes vodka out of it))))
